The First Empress - Chapter 147

Chapter 147 Close Investigation
When Linglong returned to the second floor of the inn, Qin’er’s head was covered in sweat, and Xue Xue cried out in pain.

Linglong hurriedly followed Xie Yunxiao’s arrangement and finished all the internal and external application. Only then did she feel relieved.

Outside the window was the white dew of a jade-ranked man. He sat there for a long time, pondering over the cause and effect of the matter. The name book said that “Bodhisattvas fear causes, mortals fear fruits.” But Linglong was not afraid of karma. She was just afraid that hidden arrows would be hard to defend against. She was just afraid that the victims would gather to cause trouble.

And in the long night, soaks into my stockings.

She sat down for a while and shrunk her toes. She felt a slight warmth on her shoulders and sank again. Looking back, she saw Qin’er put a thick cloak on her shoulders. “Cough cough, Master, please rest early.”

Linglong loved Qin’er, so she naturally felt the pain. She remembered everything that happened during the day. It was her preconceived idea that hurt Qin’er’s heart. She originally thought that Qin’er was a person who was good to her alone.

Later, she found out that Qin’er was willing to risk her life for her own sake. Qin’er’s lips were snow-white and there wasn’t a trace of blood. Linglong hurriedly held Qin’er’s hand and said, “Qin’er, I’m sorry for what happened during the day, I shouldn’t …”

Qin’er smiled disapprovingly and said angrily, “Your Majesty is paradoxical. Your Majesty has always been right. This servant is only afraid that Your Majesty will pity the poor and compassionate elders excessively. It is impossible to guard against those who harbor evil intentions, but I never thought that there would be such a thing.” Linglong knew that the important thing at this time was not to apologize, but to stop her from thinking nonsense.

“Are you better now?” Linglong helped Qin’er onto the cloud couch. “Today is really dangerous. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I would have been the undead under the arrow today.”

“Has the Empress investigated them? These people have unknown origins, but they seem to be acting in an orderly manner. Obviously, they have been arranged beforehand.” As Qin’er spoke, she looked at Linglong and couldn’t help but cough slightly. Linglong held down her watch and her face was covered with a faint cold. After a long time, she said, “The investigation wasn’t ideal, but it can prove that she wasn’t from Seventh Prince.” Qin’er was slightly surprised. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Isn’t that so?”

‘”Indeed, it’s not Seventh Prince. Seventh Prince is also putting the people first. He wants to use this matter to stir up trouble, but after all, if the situation gets serious, he might be taken out to make a fuss. He doesn’t dare to throw a rat at a mouse.” Linglong slowly analyzed the situation. She looked at Qin’er. Qin’er clearly knew the seriousness of the situation. She looked at Linglong without blinking. However, Linglong only smiled and covered her eyes with her hand.

“Rest early. When have I ever let you down? I promised that those who hurt you will be brought to justice and will die without a burial ground. However, I need to wait, not now.” At this point, his calm tone trembled slightly. “You can wait, right?”

Qin’er nodded and Linglong said, “Don’t get up. From tomorrow onwards, I will ask the Royal Guards to protect you.”

Qin’er jumped up and said, “Your Highness still wants to go outside to distribute official silver?”

Linglong was as calm as ever, and the hairpin phoenix on the Fallen Horse bun above her head shook. “We still have to give it away. First, the imperial decree cannot be violated. Second, it represents the face of the Tian Clan. Third, it is also the most important point. I need to know who is secretly harming people. This is more important than anything else.”

Qin’er hurriedly held Linglong’s hand and said, “Master, this servant does not want Master to take risks alone. This servant will also give alms with Master tomorrow.” Linglong was slightly dissatisfied and unhappy. She held her hand and said, “You will only distract me from taking care of you. You need to know that the Dragon Taboo Lieutenant is not easy to provoke. It’s good that you are not brave enough.”

Only then did Qin’er slowly close her eyes.

This was destined to be a sleepless night. Everyone was sleeping. Although they had closed their eyelids, Linglong did not feel sleepy.

Her heart was slowly twitching. She was at a loss as to what the precursor was. A strange emotion surged in her heart. Thinking of the victims crying out loud, thinking of the little girl’s death, Linglong felt no pain in her heart. However, she needed sufficient rest. Otherwise, tomorrow would be a fierce battle without gunpowder.

The body of the golden canal was quiet, and only the wheels were slowly crushed.

It was dawn. After Ling cleaned up, Imperial Guard Long and Mu Qianzhi had already arrived in the inner room. Linglong arranged for a guard to take care of Qin’er. Only then did she arrive at the front hall and the three of them began their discussion.

At the power of the green smoke, the Jade Sea Golden Mirror flew. The sky gradually brightened. Linglong looked at Imperial Guard Long and said, “You are good at close combat. You and Yu Lin Lang can protect me today.” She looked at Mu Qianzhi and said, “Lord Mu, you should follow a trail among the victims today. We’ll see.”

Mu Qianzhi was slightly dissatisfied. He stared at Linglong, but slowly, Sen Han was replaced by a gentle reproach. “Your Highness, you are alone. I will stay here to take care of your Highness. After these three days, I will naturally find a way to follow you.” Linglong smiled bitterly and reprimanded, “Those who have achieved great things don’t care about small matters. Now it’s time to ride a tiger. You are still a kind woman. How can you achieve great things like this?”

Mu Qianzhi gritted his teeth and looked at Linglong, saying, “However, I am worried about leaving him alone to take care of you.”

Although Imperial Guard Long was very powerful, he was suffering from being outnumbered. None of this was to be feared. However, there were quite a few black archers amongst the victims. It was truly unavoidable.

Linglong turned her eyes and said, “Lord Mu, you don’t know anything. After yesterday’s commotion, they must have thought that we were going to be cowards. Why would anyone pay attention to us? Besides yesterday’s incident, do you really think that Seventh Prince would sit idly by and ignore us?” Right now, Seventh Prince is probably also uneasy. Not only can he not suppress us, he also has to help us. ”

Mu Qianzhi thought for a moment and nodded, “That’s the only way. The Seven Kings are not far from the Seven Kings’ Mansion. The Seven Kings will definitely help you if the victims cause trouble.”

Actually, Linglong and Hui Ye had a little personal relationship. Even if Hui Ye killed anyone, he would still stay behind. After all, Linglong’s long sleeves and good dancing were beyond the reach of ordinary women. Hui Ye had already paid attention to Linglong for a long time.

At this point, the Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant nodded and said, “This official is preparing to send a letter from the flying pigeon and report yesterday’s violence and chaos to His Majesty. What do you think, Your Highness?”

Linglong nodded and said, “It’s time to tell the Emperor to pay attention.”

After discussing the matter, the three of them parted ways. Mu Qianzhi naturally paid attention to it. Although the leader yesterday was dressed in rags, he could see that there was luxurious embroidery on the lining of his clothes. Furthermore, he held a piece of silk in his hand and said, “This is from the Prime Minister Lan family. I’ll go take a look first …”

Yesterday, the Dragon Taboo Lieutenant had contacted the military leader stationed outside Zi Hua City. Soon, the flying pigeon had sent a letter to Zi Hua City. With the protection of the army, the people were even more orderly. Linglong walked to Yin Liang’s place, feeling slightly worried. She instructed the Dragon Taboo Lieutenant to say, “Drag the bow and use the arrow as the Dragon Taboo.” Your Excellency, do you know? “Don’t just fight bitterly. If there is any chaos, it’s good that your Excellency understands what I mean.”

Duan Ning appeared on Linglong’s face at the same time, giving her a different kind of coldness and valor. Imperial Guard Long knew all these principles and said, “Shoot the horse first, capture the thief first. I understand this principle. Your Highness can rest assured.”

Linglong nodded, “Commander Jiang, do you have any objections to trouble Commander Jiang to distribute porridge and rice to the victims over there today?”

“I have no objections …”

Arrangements were already being made on this side. The victims slowly formed teams under the arena. Now, after opening the warehouse to relieve the disaster and distributing the money with kindness and prestige, they had already solved the problem of the victims’ stomachs. In just one day, the victims had already appeared to be in high spirits. After Linglong weighed them with the official silver, one by one, they were sent to the hands of the victims without stopping.

All the victims were very happy. Linglong also raised her eyebrows happily. Someone below the stage began to call out loudly, “This Consort is a living Bodhisattva. When Consort returns to the palace, we will have someone draw an embroidered portrait of Consort and burn incense for her every day!”

“Living Bodhisattva” A blind old lady took the silver and bowed repeatedly.

‘”Good person, the Empress of the palace is a good person. Let’s not blame the good person. Someone said that the Empress was wrong yesterday. The old man is the first one I don’t believe. Where can I find such a living Bodhisattva?” The old man was limping as he walked and looked back repeatedly. Linglong only smiled and didn’t say a word.

As expected, Today’s progress was smoother than yesterday’s. The victims also knew that the villains’ attack yesterday was wrong, so they didn’t snatch all the money. They were even more grateful to Linglong. When Linglong looked at this side, Commander Jiang was so busy that he was sweating profusely. In a while, he had already spread out three large pots of porridge.

The Dragon Taboo Commandant looked down like a statue.

It didn’t take long for Huiqi to find out about the disturbance outside. Huiqi slapped the table and said, “How presumptuous. Someone actually attacked the Empress in the palace under the feet of the Son of Heaven. Besides, the Empress in the palace is still doing good deeds. Is it really lawless?”

“Your Majesty, please calm down. According to this concubine, this matter is not for the sake of money. I don’t know who arranged this clever plan. First, we can suppress Your Majesty’s dragon might. Second, we can sow discord. Your Majesty, don’t fall into the trap of these evil tricks!”

Huiqi said coldly, “Where is Lang Yu Lin? Come in and help Bu Jieyu outside. Everything that happens will be rallied to cause trouble. Kill them all!” The Emperor’s eyes became increasingly harsh. This murderous aura seemed to have entered Ji Zhuhua’s body as he gave the order. Ji Zhuhua knelt down repeatedly. “Your Majesty, you must not do this. How can you kill someone if you are able to invade the Mausoleum? Your Majesty, your Majesty has a kind heart. Do not do anything bad with good intentions.”

Huiqi waved his hand and the Featherwood Guard retreated. He closed his eyes strangely and asked, “According to the Empress’ wishes, what should we do now?”

Ji Zhuhua’s heart trembled slightly. Ever since she heard this news, Ji Zhu Hua had been restless. There was a possibility that this was something the Seven Kings had done. The Seven Kings had always fought against the Emperor. Without confirmation, she naturally spoke halfway to prevent the Seven Kings from being in danger. Thus, she slightly raised her head and said, “Does the Emperor know who it was?” “Even if the victims are hungry, they are still sensible. How could they not be grateful for such a good thing? I think someone was behind it. The Emperor’s God’s Eye must have already known.”

Hui Qi smiled and slowly opened his eyes, saying, “Who did the Empress think arranged the spies?”
